	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 18/09/2023 answer text <p>Alexei Navalny's politically motivated detention demonstrates Russia's increasing clampdown on freedom of expression and democratic rights. The UK will continue to make clear to Russia that it should release Mr Navalny immediately, as required by the decision of the European Court of Human Rights. HMG officials are in regular contact with Mr Navalny's team, and where possible, attend his court hearings. Following Mr Navalny's latest politically motivated sentence in August, the Foreign Secretary and Minister Docherty issued statements reiterating the call for his release. We will continue to seek opportunities for further statements in support of Mr Navalny.</p> answering member printed Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon question first answered 18/09/2023 16:33:33 answering member 4210 label Biography information for Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon
